Distro

Distro uses AI to parse handwritten notes, emails, and PDFs to extract line items automatically. This eliminates manual retyping for sales reps, reducing the time spent on a single RFQ from 30 minutes down to under two, which allows teams to respond to more bids daily.

The platform processes complex engineering drawings, and the contractor plans to generate project-ready quotes instantly. By converting messy submittals into structured bills of materials, it handles the most time-consuming part of the distribution workflow, ensuring that large-scale commercial bids are submitted accurately and on time.

Distro acts on behalf of the user by proactively updating ERP records and checking supplier stock levels. It fills in missing product specifications and handles order entry without manual intervention, maintaining a single source of truth and reducing the errors typically associated with siloed data systems.

Reps gain instant access to technical specs, warranty details, and cross-references for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical products. This feature enables counter staff to answer complex contractor questions immediately, suggest appropriate substitutions when items are out of stock, and provide high-level expertise without extensive training.

Distro features built-in intelligence that respects contract-specific pricing and ERP-driven discounts automatically. By surfacing upsell opportunities and accessories during the quoting process, it prevents over-discounting and ensures that every deal remains profitable while maximizing the total revenue captured from each customer interaction.
